If hindsight had two eyes
To look ahead
And look behind
I'm sure then
I'd realize at

How much I needed you

Before it is
I let you go
In the passion
Of the throe
I wish then
What I now know is

How much I needed you

Before my world
Came undone
Before I learned
The meaning of true love
Before I knew
How much the cost was in

How much I needed you

Now that it all
Is different
At the very
Bitter end
All I can think of
Is back then and

How much I needed you

It feels as if it only gets darker,
the waves seem to rise higher and higher.
As she continues to race out and away from the storm,
she turns back to attack all of them once more.

However her body weakens by day,
trying to keep all her demons away.
Pushing and shoving she runs out the door,
but she falls flat all once more.

Just when she thinks she’s gotten away,
she feels the cold presence of him pulling her astray.
The look of terror on the sky’s face,
tells her she’s no longer in God’s grace.
The fear of letting those down,
circles and crowds her most when she frowns.

But one light seems to shine upon her,
filling her with strength but continues to taunt her.
Her body gets lighter as he builds his army,
slaying her monsters so they no longer harm me.
She screams and shouts and is finally heard,
the struggles of the past she no longer endures.

She gives faith into his unrecognizable stature,
as he led her through a war worth fighting after.
His touch of hand brings warmth to her thoughts,
she is now okay and no longer has to plot.

A melancholy tune in my head to ease me of a day

It recites the bad

It puts me to sleep with a tear of bitter sweetness

More bitter than I
I'd wish sweet

The moon sits above

Staring down upon the sun as it lays to rest

I fear

What will it whisper to the sun?

"As a day of  bitter you bring, let me be the one to bring forth an ease of sweetness for the night"

Eyes close and I just hope that the moon has not left the sun my tears again

Maybe it'll make it up with sweet sleep the next night

This is not the first                  TIME

Nor is it the                      SECOND

while reading the      MINUTES

That this love of              OURS

has left me in a                 DAZE

Now I am so                            WEAK

I think this feeling will last a life-TIME

An apology without change,
is just manipulation.

I love you, but I can wait till your rule over my life ends.
3 more years, 3 more years, 3 more years.

You do a lot of things I don't
I do a lot of things you won't
But hey, here's a novel thought
Why can't we all just get along

I do things you do not like
You do things I would never try
In the Great by-and-by
Why don't we all try to be kind

You don't like the things I say
I don't like the way you behave
But what better day than today
To stop and say that it's okay

I'm just trying to make a point
We all call heads on this two-sided coin
In this I'm sure I'm not alone
Why can't we all just get along

Like a wound-bleed,
the glacier falls in lonely
sea. A river ages inside you,
collapsing in despairing loss.

It was not true, that
you live an impossible life.
On water you may not
leave the footprints.

Beyond human tragedy,
a knife falls on the gospels.
Stunned at the edge
of tears, I tremble.

Adieu to Arcadia.
Dust demands the price for
red clover. A dark cloud envelops
the kind hills holding
the sun.

It casts a spell.
A rock licks the moon.

Your Usliciyapi - that's your humility
